I made this last night & used the scaling tool to double the recipe. I knew that 6 1-cup servings would not leave much leftovers. I did not precook the lentils as suggested - altho to take out some of the starch I rinsed & drained the lentils. I followed the amount of ingredients suggested by the tool except for these items: 1 1/2 c green lentils & 1/2 c red lentils, 3 stalks celery, 1 large onion, 4 c chicken broth & 6 cup veg. broth, many more cloves garlic 1/2 crushed 1/2 chopped, finally 1 tsp hot curry powder.
We wanted this to be a soup as opposed to a stew so the increase of the liquid did this. The inrease in garlic and curry powder is to satisfy our personal tastes (was not too hot, but seemed to pull everything together). With a little tweaking to each persons taste,I believe that this Soup can become a mainstay for everyone.

What a crowd pleaser! Simple and quick to make. I just made as stated (we like more garlic and used canned corn). Served with tortillas w/sour cream, black olives, jalapeño peppers, grated cheese, hot sauce, et al for garnish. The 20 minute cooking time was right on but I would check @ 15 min to make adjustments if needed. Can't wait to make again & try some of the suggestions from the other reviewers!!
